Beads & Legs

[denduke]

Got some glass beads from the craft store and some legs off some bass jigs, lil dubbing, wire....Thought I'd pass it along.... Later DL

Those beads look pretty consistent regarding size, what are they called and what craft store? I picked some up at a Michaels but they are of really poor quality. The jig skirt idea for legs is pretty good, but does it save money over buying legs at a fly shop?

Bugs look great... bet they'd catch a fisherman and probly a few fish too.

The beads did come from Michaels. They aern't consistent, ie some won't go around the hook bend but they are indeed glass and not plastic. Large assorted package is $3. The whole idea came when I noticed the buggy skirts on the jigs. I'd rather have the tiny rubber legs also. There ain't no fly shops around here except BP in Jackson, Ms. 2 hrs. away. Thus the foraging and the idea passed along... I use the lil glass beads alot. Being glass they add a little weight but I wrap lead wire underbodies on most of'em anyway. The different colors and the clearness adds to the buggyness, is why I use them. Later DL

Oh, "aint's"
